People have been deluded by the notion that a bomb has to be some complex device with a timer that counts down in some dramatic way, and has all sorts of wires .... bullcrap.

Your basic explosive device can be made from a large plastic pop bottle and a bunch of brads or carpet tacks. Kids put them together all the time, because they like to see stuff "blow up."

If those kids become disaffected adults who blame others for their problems ... watch out.
Well, my point is that the availability of materials informs the method of violence. Kids who like to blow things up either go on to be gun collectors or med students, in my experience. The availability of guns here tends to push violence that direction. The lack of avilability else tends to push violence in the direction of political statement using large explosions.
